Chapter 209 Lonely Island

A ship carrying 20 people set off on the harbor of Aga in an inconspicuous morning light.

High Priest Ola stood at the bow, next to the priest who had been blinded by the hermit.

"That prophecy, can you repeat it, High Priest."

After finishing speaking, the blind priest said silently,
"May Cargauth enlighten me, you are the mysterious prophecy."

After a moment of hesitation, High Priest Ola said slowly:

"In the scene of the prophecy, besides the hermit, there is also a young man on that lonely island."

"Young man? A disciple of a hermit?"

"maybe."

High Priest Ola paused, and continued:
"The prophecy says that the hermit will go to the land of Aga in the boat we are on."

Hearing this, the blind priest stroked the mast subconsciously.

Judging from the years of experience of the priests of Cargauth, this prophecy is not ambiguous, it sounds very clear.

"Well, hopefully the trip pays off well."

The blind priest said slowly.

The ship sailed on the sea for five days and nights. Relying on the excellent memory of the blind priest and the constant prophecies of the accompanying priests, the ship never deviated from its direction.

The ship gradually sailed into unknown seas, and everyone on board became frightened.

No one can know what is in the sea, the storm?Kraken?fog?Or nothing?But all in all, the reason why the sea area is unknown must have its reasons for being unknown.

Unknown seas mean unknown risks.

The nervous priests began to pray all night on the boat. Under Aura's arrangement, a prophecy was made every day to ensure safety.

One day, the blind priest stood up from the board of the boat and muttered:
"strangeness."

"what happened?"

High Priest Ola asked, his eyes bloodshot.

"If we haven't strayed off course...there should be a lot of fog here."

The blind priest looked around with his only intact prophetic eye, and the sea was calm at the moment, only the fine sea waves pushed the ship forward.

"Shouldn't, shouldn't be..."

The blind priest murmured:
"If it didn't deviate from the course, there should be a lingering fog."

As he said that, the blind priest knelt down hastily, fear crowded his heart, and prayed tremblingly:

"Mysterious Kargaus, you are the master of prophecy. I ask you to protect and guide us. We will offer you countless sacrifices and do our best."

The high priest Ola felt a flash of uneasiness, and then he knelt down and prayed together.

Just after they prayed.

On the sea level in the distance, a tiny black spot appeared in the distance.

High Priest Ola widened his eyes and asked:

"That's... what is that?
Are our prayers working? "

The blind priest was also shocked, and said slowly:
"I don't know if it's Cargauth's apparition, or if it's just a coincidence...

We are all mortal, we cannot tell these apart. "

Aura nodded, staring closely at the isolated island in the distance.

With the pushing and pushing of the sea breeze, the outline of the isolated island gradually appeared. It was barren and lonely, with only sparse trees clustered in the center of the island, which could barely be called a dense forest.

The priests on board cheered, and the blind priest knelt and prayed with tears.

Decades ago, the Great Temple sent more than 30 priests to search for the whereabouts of the hermit, but in the end they failed, and he was the only one who survived. Every time he recalled, the nightmare of fear would always strangle him by the throat.

Maybe this time, it will really be different.

Perhaps even Cargauth wishes that his chosen hermits go to the place where the river feeds.

The ship slowly approached the shore, the planks were lowered, and the priests disembarked one after another, stepping on the shoals full of sea water, they saw the gloomy dense forest in the center of the island, and for some reason, they all felt a haze in their hearts.

The high priest Ola stepped onto the island, and he led the priests onto the island and into the forest.

Ola looked at the surrounding environment. Those trees looked ancient and distant, and their bark was as ferocious as rusty bronze. In some places, it bulged, like a sick pregnant woman.

As the group went deeper, the surrounding environment became even more eerie. The priests walked on the soft sand, and the surroundings were terribly silent, and the sound of heavy breathing filled the entire team.

High Priest Ola's eyes were fixed on the front, and he kept moving forward, until a stone almost tripped him, and he had to stop slightly.

He looked down, trying to kick away the stone that nearly tripped him.

However, when he saw the ground, he froze in place.

High Priest Ola tremblingly raised her feet, stepping on the soft sand one after another.

He turned his head, wanting to see the footprints walking towards him...

嗏

On the road I walked, on the soft sand, there was no footprint!
The silent and twisted tree trunk surrounded a group of people, like a demon that had been hungry for a long time, opening its bloody mouth to swallow people into its belly.

"What the hell is going on?!"

High Priest Ola trembled.

The priests looked at the high priest suspiciously, and then followed the high priest's eyes and looked at their feet.

There was not a single footprint on the sand!
"footprint…"

"Where are our footprints?!"

"What's going on, why is this?!"

Panic, like a plague, broke out in the priests in an instant. The blind old priest trembled all over, and the long-lost terrible memories flooded his mind again.

He rushed through the crowd, and the blind priest staggered to Ola.

The blind priest was about to say something, but his lips were stuck, and the only remaining pupil tremblingly stared behind Aura.

"That's, that's..."

Ola's hair was terrified, a chill came from behind, and the cold sweat on her neck continued.

He turned around slowly, looking at the shadow behind him.

In the shadow of the dense forest, an old man with white hair and beard and a face like a vulture walked slowly like a ghost.

The bare feet stepped on the ground step by step, but there was no sound.

"It's him...it's him!"

The blind priest sat down on his knees, howling wildly.

The hermit stepped out of the shadows, his gray eyes fixed on the blind priest with a terrible coldness.

"It seems...you disobeyed my orders."

The hermit spoke with a chilling voice.

"I, I...not, I..."

The blind priest tried to explain himself, but when he saw the hermit's eyes, he couldn't utter a word.

The High Priest, Ola, froze in place at this moment, and the instinct of animal fear dominated his whole body.

The blind priest knelt on the ground, begging forgiveness from the Lonely Isle hermit.

The hermit didn't say a word, he raised the wooden stick in his hand, aimed at the blind priest's fragile head, his gaze made people feel like falling into an ice cave.

The moment the stick was about to be swung down.

In the dense forest, came a young voice.

"what happened?"
